Cute page. So either Sam is suicidal (and planning on using her body to reconnect the bomb) or she is planning on using Gir (with Bell planning to use other machines/Sam). Then again (and someone brought this up before), maybe Gir will try fixing the machine himself (he did say that he was analyzing structural disparities, so maybe he is looking for spare parts).

Well, it seems that three elements are here, Family Unity, Devoted Friendship and of course Complete and Utter Hate for the good guys.

I have a feeling that there is also some time related paradox about to happen, in one time stream the bomb went off from the get-go, and in this one it has yet to go off leaving two time stream flowing side by side with no idea of what will happen to either one and if one will meet or even merge with the other.

All this started because in one stream Blossom failed to cut the power, in the other she managed to kill it but there is still the danger of the bomb.

I can't wait to see what happens next. I get the feeling that GIR will be working on fixing the power problem while Bell and (not sure her name) fights Blossom and Buttercup. And I foresee some opponent switching and tag-team-ups against one and both opponents.

@Yamitora1: There is no second timeline, pal. The bomb goes off, it's just a question of how. That means that despite Blossom's Technobabble 101, Gir (or Bell and Sam) still succeed. I'm surprised TheMadDoctor didn't address this, since he is a Time Lord.

@TheMadDoctor: Who wouldn't see an opponent swap coming? But wait, because there's more: according to their speech, Blossom (the Smartest) is going to try her Muscle Approach on Sam, while Buttercup (the Strongest) is going to try her Plan Approach on Bell. Forget for a moment that we've never seen 'Blossom vs Sam' and 'Bell+Gir vs Buttercup,' it's practically a given that both sisters' approach to her companion's strength is going to look different from what we see from that sister. If it gets brought off successfully, I expect it will look both interesting and cool. About 20% cooler, I'm thinking.

Sam is starting to look more Clusterbot than human. I suppose we're starting to see more of what being with the Cluster has done to her mind as well. Although a "Predicon, terrorize!" type of line could easily fit that look as well. I note her arm has been replaced with a metal lash of sorts. Holy nano-type replacement!

@Xi-1I think Yamitora was referring to the April Fool's page. Not sure if he realized that it was April Fool's.

As for Sam's appearance... damn. But, with the exception of what is likely artificial skin, I doubt there's anything human left of her. The only thing I can think of would be her brain, unless they could transfer her mind into something artificial, which I'm pretty sure that they could, and did.

Actually, the theory isn't far-fetched. We don't know what ALL the bomb does. The idea is that it either destroys or resets everything. It may reset time, in which case this may be happening for the second time.

At the point of convergence, namely when the bomb(s) go off, something odd may happen. The result of this may be what the Main Antagonist wanted from the very beginning. Perhaps there is some sort of secret or power hidden in the moment that both timelines intertwine.

"In mathematics, computer science and logic, convergence refers to the idea that different sequences of transformations come to a conclusion in a finite amount of time (the transformations are terminating), and that the conclusion reached is independent of the path taken to get to it (they are confluent)." - Wikipedia

In other words, the bomb resetting the universe won't erase the desired effect. Let's call this the Convergence Theory when using it in terms with this series.

Grats Tenshi and others that got their status updated in the past couple years! ^^

This is a quote from those comments that are posted below the comic page (see page "Heading in the Light Direction"). I do like the theory of the bomb resetting something (I really doubt that it will destroy anything physical), but I don't think that this is what is happening now (at least not on earth, if that makes any sense). That doesn't mean that it can't/won't happen later though. Don't forget what happened on the moon (i.e. Naga).

BeeAre: Alternate Title: "Electric Avenue". And then we take it higher! Whamp whump, whemp-whemp whomp! Ready, everybody? Let's see just what happened in the Tower to lead to that little hourglass bomb enveloping the whole world.

Sounds like it is going to be a Free-For-All like Sam is aiming for Gir, Bell is aiming for Sam and Blossom and Buttercup aiming to beat both of them and all at each other Blossom can only use her Eyes and Legs. and Buttercup is ready to kick bells butt

Your implications would only be supported after the characters find out what the bomb does. My only counters would be that, Gir hasn't already attempted to set it off, and that Sam shouldn't be affected by 'glory'.

Doesn't Sam (appear to) hold (some at the very least) pride towards the technological augmentations that she possesses? Hardware I guess would suffice/qualify as a appropriate term IF she is wholly machine by now.

Again, we wouldn't know if you're right, until after the characters learn what the bomb does. Until they learn that it won't kill everyone(seeing as only Bell knows(possibly Sam)), we're both right until one is proven wrong. I like the idea that it was a boast, but it something we won't know til after the bomb blows.

The effect and knowledge of the "intended" effect is important, but does it weigh that heavily at the moment? Sam's rebuttal to Blossom was on the grounds of re-establishing power to the bomb. Which regardless is necessary for the bomb to function properly.

Sam is inferring that she is (or, yes, quite possibly ( most certainly) GIR) capable of re-establishing the power to the bomb.

I feel like I'm missing something/ a point that is blatantly obvious that you'll call me out on Tenshi that'll make my sayings void... However I am naive. And I am sorry for that.

Speaking of Naga, I had a theory that he could be some sort of being that has to do with space and time somehow? He appeared right after the bomb on the moon went off, so I have to wonder if well see him again once this time bomb goes off.

I know that this time bomb somehow kicks off Samurai Jack's side of the story, and helps prevent the events in Grim Tales from happening. But how it does this, I don't really know. What are your thoughts on this?

I believe that Sam wants to use Gir and Bell wants to use Sam to set off the bomb.

I believe you're saying that Sam is boasting about herself, and that Bell is referring to Gir. If the bomb were to kill, as Blossom and Buttercup believes, Bell would not want Gir to be used, then what they're saying would be threats.

If the bomb doesn't kill, as Bell earlier implied, the setting the bomb off could be viewed as an achievement, which would make what they're saying a boast. But this information will not be relevant until the the aftermath of the bomb.

Basically, I don't think they would boast about who would commit suicide, rather who would accomplish the mission. Sam is trying to remove her humanity, imo vanity is a big one. But for the moment, if the bomb kills the machine activating it, I don't see why Bell would boast Gir.

The stupid thing is that we will lose a prominent character of the comics. But a cool and important character, like in Bleach, has to go eventually. The question is if it will be Samantha or GIR. I have a feeling it will be Sam because she is going full out and we actually will see everything of her (wouldn't mind having a few pages of backstory of her when she is going to die, sorry if I sound like I know she's going to die).

And maybe when one of them is gone, another villain like Mojo Jojo, Zim or Princess (still curious about that art where she is watching the fight of the girls) can get some more attention.
